"Hacktivism and Networking":
Presentation of Works (May 18, at 10.00-15.30, Lille Auditorium, Aarhus, 
Denmark)

Student Presentations of Networking Projects, from the Course: 
"Hacktivism and Networking. From mail art to Web 2.0". Teacher: Tatiana 
Bazzichelli

On May 18, from 10.00 to 15.30 at the Lille Auditorium, IT Huset, the 
Participants of the “Hacktivism and Networking” course are presenting 
their networking projects. The Session is open to anyone interested in 
the topics of the course.

This course proposes to analyze the roots of artistic practices and 
social intervention based on both analog and digital subcultural 
networked art, showing that the current artistic challenge of the Web 
2.0 platforms lies in the invention of new courses of action and new 
contents developed by grassroots communities. A thread that connects 
networked art such as mail art, culture jamming and hacker art with Web 
2.0 social networking practices.

/ Special thanks to the mail artist Vittore Baroni for his advice and 
involvement in the project creation.

Objectives of the course:
1. To investigate how to activate an open process of creation, producing 
new models of technological and cultural intervention, connecting the 
development of hacker ethics with the new generation of Internet-based 
services and social networking platforms;
2. To compare the diverse use of art and technology among grassroots 
communities of artists and activists involved in networking processes 
during the last half of the twentieth century, with the contemporary Web 
2.0 content sharing platforms;
3. To sort out the different types of effects of collective art 
practices in the aesthetic, socio-political and economical fields of 
intervention;
4. To know the fundamental literature and artworks on networking and 
culture jamming, analyzing international networked art practices;
5. To develop networking projects, creating visual collective 
experiments, which are shown in public sessions at the end of the course.

Public Presentations of Networking Projects. Lille Auditorium, IT-Huset,
